Investigators are looking into whether 2 guards tasked with watching Jeffrey Epstein may have been sleeping when the accused sex trafficker died in a New York City jail cell, 2 officials familiar with the investigation told NBCNews.
Investigators haven't reached any conclusions as they review whether the guards might have been asleep, the law enforcement sources said.According to a person familiar with the investigation, a male employee who was working overtime at the jail when Epstein died wasn't a full-fledged corrections officer. But he had been a corrections officer there for seven years before he accepted a different job with better pay and better hours, the source said.
Two sources familiar with the case told NBC News that investigators are looking to see if there are discrepancies in the log books compared to what is on the prison surveillance camera system. An"after action" team from the federal Bureau of Prisons will be at the jail Wednesday to examine what went wrong, as is required after any"significant event" at a federal prison, a Justice Department official said Tuesday.
